Footnotes

1. Almost certainly conf. as preb. by pope 6 Feb. 1146 (R.A.L. I no. 252 p. 198), not All SaintsHungate, as identified by Foster.

2. Hugh, Osbert, and William, listed by Henry of Huntingdon among dignitaries, but without title(D.C.M. p. 301), and thought by Le Neve-Hardy (II 91) to have been chancs. before M. Hamo,were prob. archdcns. of Stow (see list 14).

6. For the name, that of a Lincs. family, see H. Mackinnon, 'William de Montibus, a medievalteacher', in Essays in Medieval History presented to Bertie Wilkinson (Toronto, 1969) p. 32. For hiscareer, see ibid. pp. 32-45, and Biog. Ox. II 1298.

14. No trace has been found of Brian Twyne, said in Le Neve-Hardy II 91 to have succeeded M.Nicholas de Wadingham. Perhaps a strange confusion with Brian Twyne, the Oxford antiquary, whod. 1644 (D.N.B.).
